The Missouri Emergency Preparedness Association (MEPA) is a non-profit statewide organization of emergency preparedness and response practitioners with the common goal of improving public safety in emergencies. MEPA was formed by a group of local civil defense directors who recognized the need to expand and incorporate personnel in emergency service organizations into a cohesive and productive association.
Membership is open to anyone involved in emergency preparedness or response activities. Individuals with local, county, state and federal government agencies, business and industry, and volunteer organizations are eligible to join. MEPA's strength relies on a broad-based membership of individuals dedicated to emergency preparedness.
